This film shows how the U.S. attacked Panama and
killed 3 or 4 thousand people in an invasion that the rest of the
world was against. (Sound familiar?) It won the Academy Award for best
documentary.

The Panama Deception documents the untold story of the
December 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama; the events which led to it; the
excessive force used; the enormity of the death and destruction; and the
devastating aftermath.

The Panama Deception uncovers the real reasons for this internationally
condemned attack, presenting a view of the invasion which widely differs
from that portrayed by the U.S. media and exposes how the U.S.
government and the mainstream media suppressed information about this
foreign policy disaster.

The Panama Deception includes never before seen footage of the invasion
and its aftermath, as well as interviews with both invasion proponents
like Gen. Maxwell Thurman, Panamanian President Endara and Pentagon
spokesperson Pete Williams, and opponents like U.S. Representative
Charles Rangel (D-NY.), Panamanian human rights workers Olga Mejia and
Isabel Corro and former Panamanian diplomat Humberto Brown. Network news
clips and media critics contribute to a staggering analysis of media
control and self censorship relevant to any news coverage today,
particularly during times of war.
